we'll. call in broadcasting live direct from the heart of moscow this is r g i'm sean thomas quite happy with. the debt crisis rages on both sides of the atlantic as eight european banks failed stress tests for you their vulnerability to financial troubles the problem erica nears its a fourteen point three trillion dollar debt ceiling and. rupert murdoch floods the british media with i'm sorry messages of days before a grilling by m.p.'s are with the news of the world of phone hacking scandal

meanwhile the fewer moves across the atlantic with reports of nine eleven victims phones were targeted as continuing outrage and a disgrace and also is once impregnable media empire. and preparation work is underway to lift a russian cruiser from the bottom of the volga river the operation is aimed at shedding more light on why the vessel sank with the loss of around one hundred thirty lives. e.u. governments cut back spending to tackle debts that refused to budge europeans themselves are less convinced that they should pay for the mistakes of banks and politicians next we hear from the u.k. trade union leader who says the public won't take this without a fight. today i'm talking to mark so what he was one of the brains behind the thirtieth of june

nationwide strike in the u.k. he's head of the public and commercial services union thanks for talking to r.t. today know this is possible to plan to cut public spending in this country just how drastic are these cuts going to be gives an impression of what they might mean for the cuts of the big that most people would have seen in. our projected to mean half a million jobs lost in the public sector six hundred thousand jobs in the private sector as a direct result we're seeing changes in the delivery of welfare cuts in funding of education for for young people and also a tax on people's pensions in addition to that in many of the communities up and down the country will see libraries close cuts in social care services everything that people have taken for granted as. you seem to see these cuts in terms of right and wrong almost a moral position but isn't there a bottom line that has to be respected for example they didn't reform and soon it

looks like they might be able to afford teachers. in greece this is the fifth largest economy in the world and if you look at historically the british economy for fifty consecutive years from one thousand nine hundred nine words our debt as a proportion of our g.d.p. was double what it is now then we kill millions of houses we build schools hospitals well first recognise and actually economically. far better to cut the deficit by employing people who pay tax and insurance rather than throw them out to . where actually they depress the economy and we think my friends worse you've said that the government cuts are now just attack working people but how do you think the strikes you're proposing will affect the. ruling classes. what having three quarters of a million people from four different unions on strike is something that happens hasn't happened in this country for decades it's the start finish message to the government is we'll come back in the autumn and we may well see millions of people

on strike so the idea is to build pressure so the government realize that working people the length and breadth of the u.k. are not just going to let them get away with what they're doing and we believe that pressure ultimately can force them to change direction the government's bill for pensions at the moment is around thirty billion pounds which does seem excessive a lot of money how do you suggest that they would use it so i don't think they should reduce it i'm quite clear that retirement of dignity and old age where you don't have to struggle to make ends meet should be what we aspire for in the first richest country in the world so my view is public sector pensions and all pension provision is important and instead of a risk to the past where we see the worst pension provision in the private sector becoming the model i'd like to see a rise in the pension provision and saying it's a priority for people to have a decent retirement and in many ways cutting the renewal of trident for example would save us enough money to pay for those pensions for three or four years tucker

in the tax code where the richest people in britain avoid paying over one hundred billion a year would actually mean these pensions look fairly cheap in comparison and you mentioned the private sector and lots of private sector workers say that the public sector has a very good deal when it comes to pensions a lot better than a lot of private sector provision do you think there's really public support for what you're doing fully opinion polls seem to tell us already a majority of people actually believe the public sector pensions are important and are either of the right level or should even be higher that's incredible when you think of the propaganda we've had over the last two years from politicians in the media telling everybody the public sector pensions are the cause of people's problems my message to private sector workers is they're being exploited by their shareholders and by the company chiefs not by public sector. because pensions and we should have a campaign that seeks to drive all pension levels up and not cut down to the worst what you simulate what would you accept in terms of pension reform well i

personally believe that it is not acceptable to make anyone to pay a penny more for their pension when the valuation of public sector pension schemes say they're costing less because that's not about pensions it's about raising taxes to solve the deficit i don't believe people should be forced to work longer i don't believe people should have the levers of their pension slashed so where we are in the talks at the moment unless the government fundamentally accepts they have to talk about those things then i believe industrial action is going to take place you have said in fact that the government doesn't like it's prepared to negotiate so what's the point of striking. when the point is to change your mind and saying you won't negotiate just when they are going to chat with a few people in a room is one thing saying you won't negotiate when there could be millions of people taking strike action is entirely another we actually believe that the six million trade unionists plus the thousands and thousands or hundreds of thousands of pensioners and students all becoming a joint campaign is going to be pro lexically very powerful we've already seen in

britain a march of one hundred or five hundred thousand people transform the political mood in this country all of a march can do that our view is well what could strikes actually how exactly do you think that not change the political needs is transformed in that it was on the front page of the newspapers it was on every t.v. station it gave people a confidence that however small a community and i have a small they see for example in a library or me they understood they were part of a much much wider problem and i think that's given us confidence to move from a march to a strike so it's clearly transforming not just people's confidence but the opinion polls clearly are shifting whereas a majority before so they oppose strikes now in the most recent polls a majority says they are sympathetic to them and to. crisis that we're seeing in the. financial services sector do you think there's political will now to create a more responsible banking community. or i would always question whether the exists

when the. twenty three multi-millionaires and when they have cabinet members themselves who have benefited in the past by playing fast and loose with taxes although you go clearly not morrow therefore i don't actually believe there is a political will of this government to actually ensure that the rich should pay for the problems that the rich caused the banking sector pay for the problems the banking sector caused and as we're doing this interview members on fifteen thousand pounds a year struggling to make ends meet they don't have holidays facing having their pensions slashed when they see bankers who are already millionaires trousering millions more enormous is going to be fundamentally unfair since the crisis. has entered into a new war in a foreign country and recently they. just said he needed more money to sustain a campaign in libya. do you think there is a moral vacuum in westminster that causes these kinds of things to happen that the

government would cut spending and enter into another war. well i think there isn't any politico consistency quite clearly we've been told there were. everything that we hold dear has to be slashed and yet we can still talk about renewing and fighting wars overseas irrespective of the cost my own view is that the war in afghanistan and the current war in libya are wrong misjudged what people claim or about we should actually find a way out of those pretty quickly not make the situation in those countries worse as well as of the same time valuable resources into schools and hospitals and finally you opposite number at unison the country's biggest union is stressing this wave of industrial action. are you prepared to join. cuts we want more and more people to be involved because we want to be on strike because we want the government to set up and take notice so i very much welcome the comments of the apprentice in unison and we want to work very closely with him and all the other

trade unions in britain to ensure that when working people are making the protest the protest as hard as possible because it's designed to get the government to change their minds not so look thank you very much like you. hungry for the film we've got it for. the biggest issues get the human voice face to face with the news makers. with the end of the cord war and the going away of the soviet union many people thought that nuclear weapons disappeared the risk is not zero that something might be going off by mistake special it sounds nuclear weapons on hair trigger alert. the bits of it and use it as a three it all as an echo of it but you know if you keep spinning

a trillion dollars a year on weapons of eventually you're going to glory everybody yeah you you know people are dying from these weapons but until we actually see if people don't wake up to nuclear weapons or build the new. that represents all of the firepower of the second world war and this. is the equivalence of fire power the world's nuclear arsenal today. forty two thousand americans die each year car accidents will be a thousand. seven hundred thousand people. and thirty two thousand will kill themselves cancer in all its forms kills five. hundred sixty thousand of us here part is easy even more devastating it shows over eight hundred seventy thousand americans every day here.
